- ½ tablespoon dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon chili powder
Directions
- 1
Toss your diced potatoes in a large bowl with oil. Season with salt, pepper, chili powder, and dried parsley. Use your hands or a spoon to move the potatoes around so each piece is evenly coated.

Place them in the air fryer at 400 degrees for 17 to 23 minutes. Potatoes should be crispy and fully cooked. (If your air fryer has a basket you’ll want to shake it halfway through the cooking time.)

Total air fryer cooking time is 17 to 23 minutes. 17 minutes is the right number for my air fryer but time can vary based on how small you dice your potatoes and what air fryer you use. Compact air fryers take the longest because your potatoes are piled on top of each other. Tray air fryers take the least amount of time because potatoes are usually in a single layer.
